Comments:
Dear Sirs: Thank you for wanting to keep businesses honest as they present their opportunity to their prospects. We have been involved with Quixtar for 7 years and have found the people that we work with to be of the highest caliber and have a heart to help the prospects that they are talking to. Mentorship and friendship are 2 big benefits that we see besides the income. When we registered, we were given enough information to make a good decision and we provide the same information to our prospects. In this business, prospects may attend meetings and ask more questions before they sign up if they wish to. We never portray this business to be a get rich quick opportunity. Our prospects spend about $125 to register. A 7 day waiting period to sign up would be unnecessary and not really effective. Prospects can still come to meetings so what's the point of the delay? All of this delay will affect income flow. Providing a list of references could have some difficulties attached to it. If the prospect signs up with some one else, that is not fair and will affect income. I would not care if my name was used as a reference, but some people might. It makes the decision very messy and potentially more confusing. The FTC already tells us what income figrues we can quote and I have never seen anyone in Worldwide Dreambuilders misquote those numbers. In the past, before bonuses were paid by direct deposit, we showed prospects copies of checks. That really didn't affect their decision to be involved, one way or the other. Again, thanks for helping businesses to be honest in their business practices. Sincerely, Ron and Vera White
